for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

No. I am very happy at discovering a new place. I also miss the social media, pre 2010s. like in 2005, it was amazing and people felt much closer. One had a feeling that everyone is genuinely here to help and enjoy while socializing, rather than karma farming.

I am talking before Facebook grew big. The time of Orkut, Gazzag, old reddit, Slashdot. or even yahoo messenger, mIRC, before all those websites became a thing. I was not afraid of posting something, and wasn't looking for votes, or afraid of down votes. Main aim of contributing to a post of joining in the discussion.
